Senior lady with key and whistle on the train
Saw this senior lady on the train who wore a key and whistle on her chest and was talking with herself and patting an invisible companion, and did a quick sketch of her after finishing my dinner.

Animated some leaves over a photo I took of a package of fallen leaves collected by a worker whose process I observed while having lunch on a high floor balcony the other day.

Acorns
Process: paint one acorn in Adobe Fresco from which create custom brush in Adobe Capture and paint back many acorns in Adobe Fresco.
Inspiration: witnessed the prodigious quantity of acorns on the ground and wondered about its potential as a food source (edible by humans after leaching out the tannins).

Chewie visit weekend 1 of 2

Sapiens: a brief history of humankind
Just (belatedly) finished this book, which I found to be very easy and enjoyable to read, and full of interesting insights and perspectives.
The humans are essentially programmable and thus can advance faster than biological evolution which constrains other kinds of life forms on earth.
Our language and writing systems facilitate the preservation and transmission of knowledge across space and time beyond our individual brain capacity, and our ability to cooperate in large numbers allows us to build complex societies and technologies as well as to wield great damages to our environments.
